Chapter 358: Realising you have fallen in love
Stunned, Vanessa looked at Dylan, confused and bewildered.
He didn’t know what was wrong with Dylan, and he didn’t want to find out. Right now, his mind was a jumble of so many repressed things that even catching his breath was a burden.
After a moment, Vanessa withdrew her hand and curved her lips in self-deprecation.
-What do I look like?
She was talking to herself and didn’t even need Dylan to answer.
Dylan apparently knew it too, so he didn’t say anything. With his hands in his trouser pockets, he looked at her with a deep, inscrutable expression.
Vanessa lowered her head and returned to her chair with some consternation.
-I’ll let you know what I find out, and it’s up to you to decide what you do.
“Should I say thank you? It’s ridiculous, isn’t it?”
It seemed that Dylan didn’t need Vanessa’s answer either, as he stared at her for a long moment before suddenly taking off his suit jacket and placing it over Vanessa’s body.
Vanessa unconsciously tried to throw off her jacket, but was pinned down by Dylan’s shoulders.
Dylan’s scent filled his nostrils, a faint, cold, indifferent smell, like the man he was.
Vanessa lowered her head, she couldn’t understand Dylan, or herself.
“Am I being bought for such a small favour?”
-Sleepy?
Vanessa shook her head unconsciously.
The hand on his shoulder does not let go, but the force becomes softer.
-If you are sleepy, I can lend you my shoulder.
“When had he ever been so kind, so at peace with himself? It was unbelievable.
Vanessa thought to herself and straightened her back. She told herself that she shouldn’t show weakness in front of Dylan, that she shouldn’t trust him. Because she knew that if she couldn’t hold on this time, she wouldn’t be able to hold on later.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Nor did Dylan push for anything.
The two sat side by side, neither of them speaking.
Time passed and the night was terribly quiet.
Before she knew it, Vanessa had fallen asleep. Dylan smiled as he carefully tilted her head and watched her sleep peacefully.
“Why can you fall asleep in that position, and sleep soundly?”
Dylan carefully took Vanessa’s head in his hands and gently rested it on his shoulder.
Even Vanessa couldn’t imagine that her body was getting used to Dylan’s smell, but she rubbed the side of her neck and slept more soundly.
At that moment, Dylan suddenly felt as if his body was electrified.
A strong electric current ran from the soles of his feet to his heart.
After a momentary pause, the heart, which had been hit hard, suddenly pounded vigorously.
A heartbeat like thunder!
Dylan stiffened with astonishment as he felt as if he had experienced the sensation of a heartbeat.
So, was this what it felt like in a heartbeat?
Stunned, looking at Vanessa, at her peaceful, angelic sleeping face, Dylan came out of his astonishment and, for the first time, a smile full of warmth appeared on his handsome face.
A real warmth.
He said to himself, “Yes, I’m in love with Vanessa.”
Maybe it had already happened, and he didn’t even know it.
At that moment, however, as he leaned against it, a surge of heartbeats that had been building up and of which Dylan had been unaware burst forth.
He cared about her, he cared about her… he liked her.
How!
Experiencing that wonderful word, Dylan found that his heartbeat was once again spiralling out of control.
What a surprise.
He had actually realised his feelings for Vanessa in this situation, but fortunately it was not too late.
Even if the past was not a good memory for them, from now on, he would adore and love her, bring her all the goodness and happiness, and cover up all those hurtful and bad memories of the past.
Staring silently at the sleeping person leaning on his shoulder, Dylan suddenly calmed down, his eyes full of tenderness.
There is a type of person whose world is full of calculations and vices from birth, full of all the darker aspects of human nature. Growing up in that kind of environment, he did not learn to trust people, let alone to know what they like and what they appreciate and what excites them.
He was born to be calculating and sinister, and his best skill was to capture the greediest and darkest parts of people’s hearts.
Only then could he survive in that world unharmed, survive and get everything he wanted. So he was born selfish, cruel, heartless and loveless.
You may have done many things wrong, you may have hurt the people you care about most by not being aware of your feelings, and you may even have been on the verge of falling into the abyss. But one day, someone will teach you how to love.
When he learns what it is to have a heart and to feel what it is to like, his life will no longer be full of coldness, cruelty and sadness.
There will be warmth, sunshine, warmth and love in your life.
And in that moment, it would do better, it would become more perfect.
Dylan is grateful, grateful to have met Vanessa in his life.
He is glad that he did not realise too late that his heart and his affection were in his heart.
Even more he was glad that… soon his plan would work and he would have plenty of time to forget the past and start over and then pursue Vanessa again.
The gloom always faded and the heat eventually descended.
Dylan, at this moment, is full of hope.
What he doesn’t know is that the harm he has done to people will eventually come back to haunt him. Because only when you have felt it, only when you have regretted it, does everything become more precious.
It is 5 o’clock in the morning.
Dylan is leaning against Vanessa, sleeping lightly.
At that moment, Vanessa’s eyelashes fluttered gently and she opened them slowly.
I was still a bit confused, unsure of the situation.
-What’s going on?
After muttering under her breath in confusion, Vanessa realised that she seemed to be leaning on someone’s shoulder.
He turned his head sideways to look at… Dylan!
-Are you awake?
Dylan opened his eyes, and something was different in the darkness of his eyes.
“What was it?”
Vanessa went to take a closer look and was surprised to see a little more warmth and laughter in the usual cold, self-righteous eyes.
“It was a forgery, wasn’t it?”
He frowned at the thought and forgot to react for a moment.
-Stunned? -said Dylan jokingly.
Vanessa immediately came to her senses and stared at him with a frown and a tone of revulsion:
-Why are you still here?
